CONGRESSIONAL DOINGS
What is Being Done Day by Day By
the National House and. Senate.
Standard Oil Discussed.
When the Senate met the clerk of
the House announced the action of
that body !i the railroad rate bill,
but it was allowed to lie on the Vice
President's desk until 2:30 p. m.,
when it was called up by Senator
Tillman. Mr. Tillman called atten
tion to the fact that his name was
not attached. He said he was oppos
ed to the agreement concerning one.
amiendment, to which he would later
nove that the Senate disagree. He
had reference to the McLaurin amend
ment, divorcing the carrying and pro
duecng b!rQiness, which was amended
so that it does not apply to pipe
iIes.
The change in this amendment,
"in plain English," he said, "meant
that Standard Oil had got in its
work." The agreement in regard to
this anendment, he said, relieved the
Standird Oil Company from control
and regulation of the inter-State
Commeree commission.
The Immigration Bill.
Under a rule limiting debate on all
but two sections, the so-called immi
gration biUl was discussed for three
hoirs in the House and passed with
out a yea and nay vote being permit
ted on any of the part.graphs. This
bill attracted much attention, the
lkpresentatives having large foreign
colonies in their districts lining up
generally against the head tax of
73, which was defeated. and against
the educational test. After a very
interesting contest a substitute for
the educational test, providing that
the whole matter be submitted to a
commission. was adopted by a close
vote. The most important features
of the bill were then eliminated and
the bill was passed without divi
sin.
House Eushing Business.
Business was written all over the
doings of the House forcing the con
clusion that the leaders see early ad
journment in prospect. The early
morning hour was given over to the
passage ,of Senate bills by unanimous
consent. the asreement to confereuee
reports, the Military Academy appro
priation bill and the bill for the pro
tection of Niagara Falls being among
the measures which received their fin
ishing touches.
The omnibus public building bill,
carrying in round numbers $21.00.000
satirically known as the 'Dork bill,"
was considered and passed in one
hour.
The general deficiency bill was
then taken up and progress made af
ter general debate ceased. It wais
under consideration until 6 o'clock.
when the House took a recess until
8, the niqht session beine held ffor
general debate on the bill to amend]
the administration of the custom lows
This is another way of saying that
political speeches would ae'ain be in
order tonight. Mr. Boutell. of Illi
nois. replied to the tariff speeches of
Mr. Williams. of Mississinpi. an'
Mr. Rainey, of Illinois. Mr. Snight
of Mississippi. addressed the House
on the "merchant marine.
The House passed the Senate bill
which reneals the so-called 24-hour
law by fixing the maximum of time
in transit for stock at .36 hours upon
the written reouest of the owner or
person in charge of the particular
shipment.
"The Pork Barrel'
''The Dork barrel.'' as the so-call
ed omnibus public building bill is gen
erally called, was rolled into the
House by Mr. Dalzeil. of Pennsyl
vania, who reported a broad and com
prehensive rule for its consideration.
Mr. Bartholdt, of Missonri, chair
'an of the committee on publie
buildings and grounds, said the bill
represented the painstakinz intell i
egent labor of many months. He said
that miore than .500 bills carrying up
wards of $60.00R.000 had been refer
red to the committee and each of
these bills was considered on its mer
its. Out of this mass of public build
ing bills has come the present omni
bus building bill, which carriers in
round numbers $21,000,000.
" The claims of all the country
have been imonrt ially considered,"
said Mr. Bartholdt. "and this comn
prehensive hill is a resuilt of the
months of earnest work spent upon
its preparation."
State Passes Naval Bill.
After two or three more speeches
on the conference report on the rail
road rate bill the Senate sent thec bill
back to conference. again dlesignat
ing Senators Tillmnan. Elkins and
Cullom as conferees. During the day
the naval appropriation bill which
has been in conference for several
weeks was finally passed, the Senate
receding from its amendment concern
ing the naval training station at Port
Royal. S. C.. which was the only item
remaining in controversy.
The most interesting incident of
the (lay w5's a confliat over a motion
by Senator LaFollette to enter upo~rn
the consideration of the bill limiting
to 16 hours the time railroad em
ployes engaged in the movement of
trains may be employed consecutively.
There was gtreat diffieulty in securing
a voting quorum. but the requisite
number ultimately was obtained. Sev
eral speeches were made on the bill.
General Deficiency Bill.
Washington, Special.-The general
deficiency appropriation bill, the last
of the great supply bills, was complet
ed by the House committee on appro
priations and reported to the House.
Thme bill carries a total of $10.245.509
to supply dcficienmcies in the various
depatments of the Go~v'e:rrent.
